MEDICUBE Zero Pore Cooling Mask
The Zero Pore Cooling Mask sits in Medicube's Zero Pore line, the range the brand built around the look of pores and surface texture. This is the sheet mask entry, and two things distinguish it from the rest of the category.
The first is the cooling. Most products that feel cold on the skin achieve it with alcohol, which evaporates and takes warmth with it. That works, but alcohol is also drying and can be uncomfortable on sensitive skin. This formula produces the cooling effect without it, which is a more considered piece of formulation than it first appears.
The second is the sheet material. Tencel is a regenerated cellulose fibre, and in a sheet mask it holds a large volume of essence and drapes closely against the contours of the face. A sheet that clings properly keeps the essence in contact with the skin rather than pooling at the jawline.
The formula includes niacinamide, palmitoyl tripeptide-5 and botanical extracts including evening primrose, pinus palustris and pueraria lobata. A word on the name: Zero Pore is the line's branding, not a description of what the product does. Pore size is largely genetic and no cosmetic changes it. What this mask affects is how noticeable pores look, and that effect is temporary.

1. Cleanse your skin, then apply your usual toner to prepare it.
2. Open the pouch, unfold the sheet and adjust it so it sits evenly across your face.
3. Smooth the sheet outward from the centre, pressing out air pockets around the nose and jaw.
4. Leave the mask on for ten to twenty minutes. Remove it before it begins to dry on the skin.
5. Take off the sheet and discard it, then pat the remaining essence into your face and neck until it absorbs.
6. Follow with your usual moisturiser. Use two to three times a week.
Key Ingredients
● Niacinamide is widely used in Korean skincare and is well tolerated alongside most other ingredients.
● Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 is a peptide included in the formula.
● Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) Extract is among the botanical ingredients.
● Pinus Palustris and Pueraria Lobata Extracts also appear in the formula.
Ingredient Claims
● Formulated without alcohol, which is how the cooling effect is achieved without the drying associated with alcohol based products.
● No claims are made about reducing pore size. Zero Pore is the product line's name, not a description of an effect. Pore size is not something a cosmetic changes.
● Single use sheet. Discard after one application.

Aucun avis pour le moment. Soyez la première personne à évaluer ce produit.
A: Most cooling products use alcohol, which evaporates and takes warmth with it. This formula achieves the sensation without alcohol, which matters because alcohol is drying and can sting on sensitive skin.
A: No. Zero Pore is the name of the product line, not a description of what it does. Pore size is largely genetic and no cosmetic changes it. The mask affects how noticeable pores look, temporarily.
A: Tencel is a regenerated cellulose fibre. In a sheet mask it holds a lot of essence and drapes closely against the face, which keeps the formula in contact with the skin instead of pooling at the jaw.
A: Ten to twenty minutes. Remove it before the sheet starts to dry on your skin.
A: Many people do, and it makes the cooling effect more pronounced. It is not necessary, since the cooling comes from the formula.
